At first glance one might think this a Halloween prank, but you now what they say. The truth is often stranger than fiction. And in this case, it is the truth and it is definitely strange. For reasons not completely understood by yours truly, mega store chain Walmart has decided to go into the funeral coffin and urn business.

People can now go online on to the company’s website and while thumbing through the electronics and the everyday home decor, users can also pick out a variety of urns, caskets, and coffins ranging from around $30 to $3000. Even more strange is that these items normally purchased for making someone’s final arrangements are found in the Funeral area under the “For the Home” Department. Perhaps that may apply to The Munsters or the Addams Family home, but not my house.

Nice to know, though, if I run a haunted house and need a few nice caskets, I no longer needed to talk to a mortician.
